Madklarmad · klar (Danish, roughly MAD-klar; food-ready): having dinner decided before the evening starts.
Plan the week’s meals and shopping.
Madklar remembers who is home, what they eat, and what worked before. Plan anything from breakfast and packed lunches to dinner, sides, and dessert, with one shopping list and the recipes ready.
Madklar brings all the week’s meals into one plan based on who is home and what each person eats. Ingredients from every recipe are combined in the same shopping list. The iPhone app is available in English and Danish.
Planning is the hard part
The hard part is keeping the family’s meals, four calendars, food restrictions, and the shopping list in your head at once. Madklar brings the details together, suggests meals, and records your choices before the day gets busy.
Why we made Madklar
Built from real family life
We’re Marie and Marek, co-founders of Madklar. Our blended family has four children, changing schedules, different needs, and several food restrictions. We wanted to choose organic when the budget allowed, but the details of the weekly plan were split between the two of us.
We built Madklar from that experience, with the flexibility to adapt to each household. It gave us one shared meal plan, streamlined our shopping, and helped us compare the estimated cost of our basket at nearby stores. We saved mental energy and money, and wanted other families to have the same support.

How it works
What you already have
Keep track of the fridge, freezer, and cupboards
Madklar gives the household a shared view of staples and recent purchases. Quantities, refill levels, and ingredients reserved for planned meals stay connected to the shopping list.
- Add staples and set how much you want to keep on hand
- Record when something is bought, used, eaten, or discarded
- See what the plan will use and what is still available
Not just dinner
Tomorrow's packed lunches belong in the plan too
Add packed lunches as their own slots. Madklar suggests recipes that work well in a lunchbox, and their ingredients join the same shopping list as the week's dinners.
- Lunchbox-friendly recipes, not dinner leftovers by default
- Different children, days, preferences, and restrictions
- Everything consolidated into one shopping list
Compare your estimated grocery basket
Premium compares your planned basket across stores using estimates refreshed daily. That gives you better information when choosing where to shop. These are estimates, not real-time shelf prices. They are available in Denmark today, with more regions to follow. How price estimates work.
- No diet plans.
- No calorie scoring.
- No wellness nudges to scroll through.
The week’s meals and shopping brought together in one plan.
